Holistic Menopause: A New Approach to Midlife Change

From mood swings to hot flushes, this comprehensive guide combines valuable general information with a workbook approach and practical suggestions for dealing with a host of specific 'symptoms' of menopause. An array of treatments is included, with an emphasis on homeopathic and Chinese herbal remedies. The chapter on HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy)expresses a healthy skepticism about its safety and efficacy and offers a range of alternatives. The template for daily diary entries is a nice dividend, and useful for first-time journal-keepers.
